If you're looking for a knowledgeable and professional dog trainer, Nick brings both expertise and clarity to the process. His approach gave us the confidence to move forward with one of his puppy training packages. The group sessions have been incredibly valuable--providing structure, socialization, and meaningful growth for Koa. We're especially grateful for the one-on-one guidance Nick has given us, helping us confidently reinforce commands and build strong obedience skills at home and on walks. We've seen tremendous improvement, particularly in managing Koa's over-the-top excitement when greeting people and other dogs. Content K9s also offers boarding and training to their clients, so having that option during our recent 2 1/2-week international trip gave us complete peace of mind. Koa was clearly well cared for, and we returned to a happy, well-adjusted pup. Nick and the Content K9s team deliver professional, effective, and thoughtful dog training. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for puppy training, obedience training, or behavioral support.

We had to put one of them down due to injuries and thought I would need to rehome 2 of them but he worked with all of us and made my pack stronger and more bonded than ever. He took the time to come over first and watch and observe them together and then he worked with them individually and in smaller groups. He trained me as well on how to be a stronger mama bear and take my power back. He taught me to "lock up" my couch since the couch was misbehaving when I wasn't home. Haha. Now my furniture is safe, my dogs aren't tempted and they can be unsupervised more often without getting into trouble. His weekly group classes are a lot of fun to bring the dogs to so they can play and train at the same time. They can meet other dogs if they want or we just do our own thing and my crazies love Mr. Nick. He still periodically checks in on us and always responds to my texts when I have a quick question. You can tell he truly loves all the animals he works with and they can feel it too. I'm so glad he was recommended to me by my vet. He was life saver then and he is still one now. Because 5 crazies is a lifelong commitment and the training snd questions never stop.

If 10 stars were an option I would give it to 4E!!…read more Jeanette is the definition of ethical breeding, she honors the mothers and the puppies and through her program she is able to place puppies with the right families. I remember when my sister first shared Jeanette's Facebook with me and telling her "I would never buy a dog from a breeder", that was around 5 years ago. I started following Jeanette on Facebook and Instagram, I was instantly impressed with Jeanette's program. While it's hard not to pick out your puppy and having to wait until go home day it does truly help to honor the puppy along with the owner. The evaluation videos she sends a week prior are so helpful in the process, they show you the temperament and the type of puppy you can expect at 8 weeks. After 2 or 3 years of following her I put a deposit down for an F1B Standard Goldendoodle, I had an older dog and didn't want to bring a puppy in so it took me another 2 years to actually get my first dog from Jeanette which just happened on Feb 18th. Having gone through the process with Jeanette and her team I can attest to you that she is top notch and so are our dogs I had access to my own puppy page to watch the liter grow, we got to see pics and videos every few days allowing us to see them changing. I had 2nd pick and to be honest my first choice was taken by the person who had first pick, but I do feel like I have the right dog for me. Sedona Grace (AKA Gracie) has been the easiest puppy I have ever raised, she fussed for 5 minutes in the kennel the first night and potty training was so easy. Because of all the handling the team did with her she has been easy to bathe, cut her nails and most importantly to take out and socialize. I put her in a shopping cart and she could careless, she loves to meet new people and to go new places. The vet was impressed with how well mannered she was even at 8 weeks. As a family we collectively have 3 of Jeanette's dogs now, all are angels and when we are ready we will be repeat customers!! If you are on the fence or unsure of how her program works I would highly encourage you to comb through her social media and YouTube account. I

We only received a partial, prorated refund (at a higher hourly rate) after threatening legal action against him. His only sessions repeatedly focused on having the dog walk with a shopping cart even after being specifically told that was not a priority for us.

There were a few problem behaviors we were able to work on right away. Jumping, sitting, and overall listening. AJ is extremely great with our dogs. They are excited to see her every session, and happy to work hard for her. AJ is not only a great dog trainer but also a teacher to us humans. She helped us learn the tools we needed for our dogs to be successful. After 8 sessions our dogs are doing great with door manners, a long stay, coming when called and more. She has taught us fun games that allow the dogs to use their noses to find scents, while also tiring them out. I recommend AJ to anyone in need of help with dogs who already are great, but have a few quirks to workout. And I highly recommend AJ to anyone with new pups in the house. She has made a huge difference for us, and our dogs as well as everyone's confidence!

I must stress that AJ is just not about training but more importantly she believes in Nala's well being. AJ created a bond with Nala, yet Nala is aware she is in training. AJ listened to our needs, and investigated our surroundings/situation. AJ prioritizes Nala's delicate insecurities. There are not many Trainers (or businesses) that go above and beyond the need to "sincerely help" and yet is still a professional. ie: AJ has accompanied us on numerous Vet visits; suggested Doggie Daycare, plus accompanied us on Nala 1st visit and ensured Nala's transition into socializing with other dogs. In which was a success! Nala is now at leash training status and people interaction. Stay tuned for further updates... Don't ponder... we still HIGHLY RECOMMEND AJ for your pet training needs!!!!

My wife and I were honestly a little hesitant about hiring a dog trainer for our dog, Augie. We…read moreweren't sure what kind of results we'd actually get for the price. After hearing a positive experience from our neighbor, we decided to meet with Brendan from Lead and Thrive Dog Training. From the first consultation, Brendan was confident, clear, and straightforward. He explained that the program would take eight weeks and emphasized that our consistency at home would be the key to success. He also provided all of the necessary equipment, including a long-range collar, leashes, and training collars, which made the process easy to get started. After the consultation, we planned to take a few days to think about it, but within minutes of Brendan leaving, my wife was already asking me to call him back and get started right away. That pretty much says it all. The program consisted of one session per week for eight weeks. In our case, that included four in-home sessions, two sessions at a nearby park, and two additional sessions tailored to what we wanted to focus on. We chose more dog-focused park training instead of busier, people-heavy environments like Lowe's or Home Depot. Each session was followed up with a detailed text recap covering what we worked on and how to continue practicing during the week. That made a huge difference in staying consistent. After completing the program, we also gained access to unlimited weekly group training sessions, which is a great added value. Brendan also gave us helpful recommendations for quality gear, like retractable leashes and car restraints. At the end of the process, we couldn't be happier. The results, the value, the structure, and the support all exceeded our expectations. Augie has made incredible progress, and we feel much more confident as dog owners. Highly recommend Brendan and Lead and Thrive.

You can tell he truly understands dogs and cares about helping both the dog and the owner succeed! Thanks again you Brendan, Olivia and I are extremely thankful!

We first started going to this vet 2yrs ago. The last three times that we were there over the last…read moremonth it was all for urgent needs for our cat. Two of the appointments were made with short notice. Perhaps it was because of this, the staff seemed incredibly disorganized and the place felt chaotic. Bottom line my cat was not really looked at throughly and by this past Saturday was extremely sick. We tried calling for help but did not get a call back. We had no choice but to take him to the ER on Tropicana in Vegas. Not only did the ER Doctor question some of the things that were done at Animal Care Center, but even one of the Doctors there at that hospital in Pahrump was questioning decisions made by her colleague. If your pet is healthy and young and just needs routine visits and blood work, you might be okay going to the Animal Care Center. However, if your pet has major health issues and needs focused and experienced vets you should probably look elsewhere. We no longer have confidence in Animal Care Center of Pahrump.

We have been loyal customers for many years. Even through changes in doctors, closures, and…read morereopening, we continued to support your clinic. To make a long story short, my dog cannot take liquid medication, and I clearly informed the doctor of this. Despite that, I was prescribed liquid meds. Since the medication is non-returnable, I attempted to give it to my dog, but it did not work at all. I contacted your office to explain the situation and request the medication in pill form. I also asked that the correct medication be provided at your expense, as this was clearly an error. Not only was the mistake not acknowledged, but I was told that because I purchased the original medication at Walmart, you could not provide a replacement at no charge. This is not about the cost, but the principle. This Medication is not expensive, but more importantly, accountability matters. In addition, the delay in communication has been very frustrating. It took over a week to receive blood test results, and four days just to get a response regarding the replacement medication. This kind of delay is concerning when it comes to a pet's health. This clinic used to be much better in every way. I have always appreciated Lulu's friendly customer service, but unfortunately, this experience has changed my perception. It certainly does not reflect how loyal customers should be treated. At this point, I will be changing my dog's veterinarian. The lack of timely response and accountability gives the impression that patient care is not being prioritized. I am very disappointed.
